The Stupid Creatures ™ Sock Monsters are inspired by everything clumsy, awkward and forgivable that makes human beings extra special. They were created in 2003 on a whim by an impoverished, unemployed artist out of spare socks he collected in a big bag. Now they're a series of craft books and a globally known brand. The Stupid Creatures™ are living proof that you can achieve success by working hard and being yourself.
